Amazing Fun for All Ages

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 62 / 63

I think the WarioWare games are brilliant. They are short, great fun, perfect for all ages, and incredibly inventive!

If you've never played WarioWare games before, you're in for a treat. These are definitely games that text your reflexes as well as your mental quickness. You are shown a silly situation in kid-like graphics and given only the barest of hints about what to do. You might see a man's face with beard stubble. You have to figure out that your task is to shave off the stubble before the timer runs out. You get 3 seconds.

Half the fun in this is laughing your fool head off as you try and fail to figure out the key to the puzzle - and then doing it fast enough to win. Each of the puzzles gets more complex as you get deeper into the game. Maybe the first time around you just have to dodge one ball with the marionnette. Then later you have to dodge two, or three. You'll be busy slashing with your samurai sword, balancing brooms, tracking down hidden people with a flashlight, and much more.

In addition to these games, there are also several mini-games you can unlock. You can play a fascinating breakout style game with a never-ending tower. Try balancing falling tetris-like shapes on a narrow board. There are TONS of profiles here so you can have friends over and let them create their own profiles. Some of the games even involve your Mii characters!

Let's see, what complaints can I have about this. The graphics are really cheezy - but they're *meant* to be cheezy. It adds to the cuteness of the game. There's really no plot. The plot is really that you have to complete a series of mini-games before the timers run out, and then get through a 'boss' which may or may not be challenging. Who cares, the games are all fun by themselves.

Add on to this the numerous ways you're told to hold your controller - like a samurai sword, like a mowhawk on your head, like an elephant trunk on your nose, like a waiter's plate. The variety is great fun - and the droning, zen-like voice that gives you the description of what to do is hilarious.

Highly, highly recommended for all ages!

At E3...

I went to E3 and I was one of the luckiest to get to Play WARIO WARE SMOOTH MOVES for the wii. IT was easy, insane, and something everyone can pick up on in a number of seconds two thumbs up! (And for those of you thinking: How can a kid go to e3 i'm really a 23 year old who doesn't have an amazon account and I wanted to not sign up but write a review.) I'm sure I'll get this right when it comes out. WII ROCKS!!!

Really Silly. Really Fun!

This is definately a polarizing game (as you can tell reading the reviews). This is the second game I've purchased for my Wii, and I think its a blast. Here are some observations:

1. Definately weird. The story lines are zany, the actions are very silly and funny. Yeah, some of the tasks are kind of gross (picking a nose hair, for example), but come on... If this is offensive to you, you really need to get a life.

2. Graphics: I can't believe people are complaining about the graphics. The game is beautiful. Scenes range from high-end anime to Atari 2600 style block graphics. The graphical depth and complexity is absolutely amazing. I have a feeling the folks complaining don't "get" art museums.

3. Multiplayer: Can't comment yet... still working on the single player.

4. Kids: I'm 33, and I love it. We had friends over this weekend, and their 7 and 10 year olds picked up the game right away and had a blast.

5. Music: The music and beat of this game are addictive. Just try to tell me you weren't dancing along with the cheerleaders.

Overall, I think the game is amazing. If you're the type who only likes photorealism, and for whom gaming is serious business, I don't think this is the game for you. If you have an imagination, and aren't too inhibited to perform some silly moves, give Wario a shot.

A very fun game for the entire family !!

Okay for those reviewers that give this game a bad review because of the graphic, then you are not a true Warioware/Nintendo fan!

The graphic on the warioware has always been like this, retro classic, simple, yet maybe stupid, but that is the whole point of this game. Wii never intended to make its console the next gen graphic powerhouse, but instead it is it's innovation ideas of game play that make WarioWare stand out all the time.

Warioware for gamecube, for DS were awesome title! For wii, although sometime you have to make some awkward positions, but that IS the fun/core of this game. If you are looking for Warioware to have fancy 3D graphic like PS3/Xbox360, look elsewhere, but if you want some fun with your family and friends, this is the best Wii game out there right now to have some major fun with!!!

Great family game!!

If your enjoyment of videogames comes from high quality graphics, you'll be disappointed in this game. However, if gameplay and hokey fun are what you want, this is your game. This is the one game we've purchased for the Wii that is fun for everyone in our family. The early levels are easy enough for my youngsters (first grade), but get progressively difficult to entertain the adults. Good for manual dexterity. Personally, I still prefer the Rayman Rabbids game, but this title is better for younger children and the mini-games are much easier to master. You know...I'd never considered fingernail clipping to be a working game premise...

Fun & Crazy for EVERYONE

To begin, i am 26 years old. I felt like quite the douche buying this in the store. Anyways, I was glad that I picked it up though!

It is fast and crazy and nutty, I like it. Go buy this game.

This game has been rated by several reviewers (Gamespot, IGN) as the best game yet on the Wii. I would have to agree. This game is sooooooo much fun, and it is hilarious. There are over 250 "micro-games" which on average last about 5 seconds. This is not a problem, however, since there are just so many micro-games. You can unlock all sorts of games, like baloon trip, and brick stacking. (These are just longer more fun versions of the one you see in-game. The only thing that is bad about this game, is the length. You can probably beat it in an hour or two. This isnt a bug problem, for there is soooo much to do after you beat it. One cool character that yu play is an alien of some sort, in which you use the Wii Remote, and the nunchuck...very fun. There also is a multiplayer mode. Where there are 4 types of games to play. My favorite, is the survival, where you can use up to 16 or 24 players(cant remember which), and you are basically in a death match. They use your Mii and put it into an angle, and if you mess up on one game, your dead.
I recommend this game to anyone...buy it...fun to play with your friends.

WARIOWARE IS BACK WITH GREAT NEW FUN.I WAS ABLE TO GET THE FINAL COPY @ BEST BUY TODAY. THE GAME GOOD FOR LAUGH ONCE AND AWHILE. WHAT HAPPENS IS: WARIO HAS COME UPON AN ANCIENT TOOL WHICH EVERYONE IN DIAMOND CITY WANTS. AT SOME POINTS THE GAME CAN BECOME QUITE CHALLENGING. IF YOU WANT PRATICE JUST DO THE MICROGAMES AGAIN AND AGAIN. A GOOD GAME FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Serious Spastic Fun

This is the ultimate ADD game. You get to play 5 second game after 5 second game (maybe it's more like 3 seconds). There is a lot of creativity in how to make the controller do different things and there is a lot of humor in this game.

It's mostly 2d. The story/plot is mostly silly but the intros to each of the ways in which you hold the controller is brilliant.

I just finished Zelda a few weeks ago and loved it. This game, on the other hand, allows for progress in 2 minutes to 2 hours. I'm 39 and my daughter is 10 and we both have had fun playing this game together. It's also a great party game (once you unlock the multi-player mode).

There are a few micro-games where the controls just seem out of whack, but that does not take away from the enjoyment of playing the game.

Don't buy this game looking for anything deep or significant. Do buy it for some fun.

And look forward to future WII games that build on the creativity of using the controller forged in this game.

This is THE game to demonstrate to yourself and others just what the Wii is capable of. With countless mini game collections coming out for the Wii, this one leads the pack in entertainment and value. Don't get Rayman, don't get Super Monkey Ball, get Warioware. You won't regret it.
